Distribution of mortar film thickness and its relationship to mixture cracking resistance

Jiwang Jiang et al.

Summary: This study proposes a novel method to characterise the distribution of mortar film thickness in asphalt mixture using image processing. The results show that binder modification and compaction temperature have significant effects on the mortar film distribution. The correlation between mortar film thickness and mixture cracking resistance is analyzed using mortar film parameters.

Investigation of average asphalt film thickness of dense graded asphalt mixtures with compaction effects

Yao Zhang et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the relationship between AFT and volumetric properties of dense-graded asphalt mixtures with consideration of the compaction degree. The compaction-property-dependent (CPD) AFT model considering compaction effects was proposed and compared with the standard AFT equation. Results show that the new AFT is 2% to 30% less than the AFT in the standard model, and the prediction accuracy of the BP neural network has the highest R-squared. These findings can give a considerable interest for the tendency of using the new AFT to supplement the current specified VMA criteria.

Strain Sweep Fatigue Testing of Sand Asphalt Mortar to Investigate the Effects of Sample Geometry, Binder Film Thickness, and Testing Temperature

Lilian Ribeiro de Rezende et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the viscoelastic fatigue behavior of binder using strain sweep fatigue testing of cylindrical sand asphalt mortar (SAM) samples. Results indicated that fatigue behavior was independent of the SAM geometries used in this study, while binder film thickness and testing temperature significantly affected test results.

Experimental Testing and Analysis Procedure to Determine the Apparent Film Thickness of Asphalt Binder in Fine Aggregate Matrix Mixtures

Lucas Henrique Vieira et al.

Summary: The Fine Aggregate Matrix (FAM) is crucial in asphalt concrete mixtures, influencing porosity and binder content. This study presents a protocol using scanning electron microscopy and digital image analysis to determine the apparent film thickness of fine aggregate particles in FAM mixtures, with results indicating a range of 0.5 μm to 30 μm. Additional validation efforts demonstrated the methodology's applicability and potential to improve material design methods for asphalt concrete mixtures.
